"I feel that the experience I gained through my Tauber Project helped me get into the Operations Leadership Development Program at Lockheed, which jump started my career there."
When she's not traveling the globe, Meghan Lujan (BSE-Aero / MSE-IOE '12) now calls Texas home. But her focus at Lockheed Martin is on Japan, and all things F-35.

2018 Tauber Team Cummins at Spotlight! Students at center: (L to R) Diego Roger, Makura Compton, and Advait Bhogte

Tauber Solutions:
3D Printing No-Source
Orders
The Challenge: While technologies like those used in cell phones render equipment obsolete at a breakneck pace, some industries face challenges at the other end of the spectrum: diesel engines are designed to last for decades, but as new models are introduced, it can be difficult for manufacturers such as Cummins to provide replacements for no-source parts (components for which vendors no longer exist).
The Solution:
Cummins can use the 3D printing process their 2018 Tauber team developed to improve
efficiency and customer satisfaction through shorter lead times on
fulfillment of no-source orders for qualified parts. The new process
will also reduce labor hours, the number of required information
systems, and the number of decision points and cross-functional handoffs embedded in the process.
